Working from Home

Every time work gets stressful and busy I dream of ways I could work from home, at least part of the time. I don't want to be a hermit, but it would be nice to work a few less hours or work from home, for the same amount of money of course. It's especially driven home when I do work a couple hours from home and get more done, then when I'm at the office.
Here's a favourite website I go to, to dream of not just working from home, but having an "office" to work from at home. Shedworking
Sounds a little primitive, but you should see some of the things people come up with, primitive is the furthest from what it is, some of them are downright extravagant.

Personally I would situate mine out past the pasture near the woods and brook.






And if I can't have a yurt or a shed, I would like a treehouse.





A tree house.
A free house.
A secret you and me house.
A high up in the leafy branches.
A happy as can be house.
A street house.
A neat house.
A be sure to wipe your feet house,
is not the kind of house for me.
Let's go and live in a treehouse.

as long as you have wifi and power, I think that's a great idea!

now that's a very interesting idea. I tried it once with a wooden raft and Javex (bleach) bottles. It didn't float quite as well as his does.

his is really nice :) ... now the next step would be to find a nice little cove in the tropics to dock at :)
